depends mostly on what you consider elitist and like others have said how much it bothers you youll see it the more it bothers you... that aside human beings tend to get elitist to feel pride in something even if they have no actual basis for that pride like personal accomplishment ... this is a prime example a city's pride in its basketball/football/baseball team in the us or a country's pride in its soccer/ other major sport in the worldwide scene or at the olympics.... there is no personal interaction or accomplishment for the individual but humans still pride themselves on others accomplishments// so this is just another example of human behavior its gonna happen regardless of the place or time so you best bet is to just take what they say(write) with a grain of salt and let it bother you as little as you can

It is rare to see old people from the days that Crunchyroll have fan made videos, I mean old users from CR circa 2011.
Cr Points show more or less who is an old user here yet you can chose to ignore it, since it is only a reference of how active the user is.

Welcome to the fan(dumb). There's a lot of elitist people here. Go to any anime convention and you'll see it yourself. There's always at least one person who will get after you because you don't recall the exact lines a favorite character said in episode 8.
